It was late at night, and in the rooms of the Xianyu Village chief's house where the Xu family was housed, the adults of the Xu family had not yet gone to sleep.

From time to time, there were whispers in the room, and the people being talked about were also reflecting.

"His father, is Daya feeling uncomfortable today?"

"Chunhua, how much money do we have left? Will there be any left after we build the house?"

"Aunt Yuan, are you asleep?"

……

The next day, before dawn, Xu Ning got up with a somersault without anyone calling him.

It was still dark in Xianyu Village, but many villagers were already fishing in the sea with torches.

The light from the torches shone on the wet coast like a flickering star belt.

Xu Ning also joined the team of sea-hunting people, carrying a torch and fire tongs borrowed from the village chief's house. The brothers Xu An and Xu Feng had already picked up half a bucket of fish before Xu Ning arrived.

"Brother, is that our second sister?" Xu Feng saw a torch coming out of the courtyard of the village chief's house in Xianyu Village. He pointed to Xu An, who took a serious look and nodded, "It's Daya."

There were many children from Xianyu Village near the Xu brothers. They were about the same age as the Xu brothers, but much thinner and darker. However, at this time they had gained more than the Xu brothers, and their faces were full of satisfied smiles.

"Daya, why did you get up so early today?"

"What else! Have you two forgotten what Uncle Qin said to us yesterday?"

"Second sister, come and pick up some seafood! There are so many!" Xu Feng was completely immersed in the excitement of going to the sea, and didn't even hear much of what Xu Ning said.

You know what, ever since the brothers met the boys from Xianyu Village while helping to pick up stones yesterday afternoon and agreed to go fishing together this morning, they have completely forgotten what Qin Da said yesterday about taking them to the island.

"Daya, did Uncle Qin say what time it was?"

"Chenshi." It is from seven to nine in the morning. It is still dark now, so it is not Chenshi yet, but it is almost there.

"Is Uncle Qin here?"

"Not yet? Uncle Qin said that the tide will go out at Chenshi, and he will come to pick us up."

"Xiaobao, if you pick up more for a while, we should go back."

"why?"

"It's okay if you don't go back. Just don't regret it later." Xu Ning took a look in the light of the torch. He saw that more and more people were coming to the coast, and the buckets in the hands of those who went to the beach were getting fuller and fuller.

Xu Ning used tongs to open several stones before she found a crab the size of a fist. Suddenly, she didn't want to pick it up anymore, so she put the tongs into the bucket and stopped.

"Second sister, what do I regret?" Xu Feng obviously didn't hear what she said, so Xu An had to lean over to his ear and say something.

"Brother, I really forgot!" Xu Feng immediately stopped picking up the seafood and handed the wooden barrel to Xu An. He ran to Xu Ning anxiously and grabbed Xu Ning's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Second sister, I'll go, I'll go, please don't leave me alone!"

"Let's go. Uncle Qin should be here after we have breakfast." Xu Ning rubbed Xu Feng's prickly head. It was already much brighter. Xu Ning looked in the direction of the village chief's house and saw that Old Lady Xu had already walked out of the yard and was looking at them.

"Daya, Dabao, and Xiaobao, come back for breakfast!" Behind Old Mrs. Xu were Xu Yuan and Zhang.

"Hey, coming right up!"

After breakfast, Qin Da was already waiting in the yard.

Because Xu Da had to look after the construction of the house, Zhang and Old Lady Xu had to stay at home, and Old Man Xu was too old to go, so in the end the Xu An brothers, Xu Ning, and Xu Yuan followed Qin Da to the island to catch seafood.

The sky was already completely bright, and Xu Ning saw the sun rising from the sea level with his own eyes. It was a sunrise different from the one seen on the boat. This kind of sunrise gave people a sense of security.

"Kids! Sit tight! Let's go!"
